NOTE 1:  In order to create survey weights, we needed to obtain respondents' demographic characteristics as they were recorded by CloudResearch.  CloudResearch provided these demographics in a separate participant summary file, and the only way to merge this file with our Qualtrics data file was using respondents' CloudResearch participant ID.  We were concerned about keeping this unique ID in our replication materials lest it be used in some way to breach participant anonymity, so we performed this merge between the CloudResearch demographic characteristics and our Qualtrics file, then deleted the variable containing the participant IDs from the raw .csv file we provide here.  For the same reasons, we also deleted from this .csv file CloudResearch's project ID and assignment ID variables.

NOTE 2: This survey contained a second, unrelated experiment.  We have deleted all variables that related to this second experiment from the raw .csv file we provide here.
